Reflections

[project-thoughts]

I tried under painting for the first time…I still feel as though I’ll be in the dark for a while trying to paint a scene from my imagination. I find myself still painting over sections completely but I still find it useful to at least have a suggestion there even if it’s just a place holder.

The Agony of Venus… I always tend to go overboard with the under sketch. This is why I need to stick to my roots of sketching in my sketchbook first before I blow it up to scale on a huge canvas. Saves me all the overthinking from trying to feel my way through the dark and loss of all that beautiful pencil.

I just didn’t know how much more tedious it was to paint still life scenes compared to a portrait or landscape. I’m whipping up a completely different palette tray of hues per object🫠.
